If a cell gets too large the function of the cell will decrease.
This is because of the surface area to volume ratio, when the volume increase the surface area increases at a slower rate so it is harder for things to pass through the cell, and not as much room for things to enter and exit the cell.

What is an organelle how does its structure affect its function?
an organelle is a small cell structure that carries out a function within the cell. I believe that the function is determined by the shape and size of it because the organelle needs to be a certain size to carry out all of the functions that need to be preformed.

Why cell transport and cellular communicator factor that limit cell size?
The cellular transport and cellular communication factor that limit the cell size because all the materials that go in and out of a cell must pass through the plasma membrane.
Why does a cell have a limit to a size?
To have better control of nucleus on over all activities of the cell.
Why is the shape and size of a cell important to its function?
It can perform a specific function!!
What factors limit the size of a cell?
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell.
TO function most efficiently a cell must be?
any size
What does the size and shape of a cell tell us?
The shape of a cell may give us a clue about the function of the cell.
